Da Qin: At the age of six, I beat Qin Shihuang at the beginning

Chapter 15 Intercession, Great Qin Chaotang's Disadvantage!
Zu Long was silent and speechless, sitting on the high dragon chair, he didn't know what he was thinking.

Ye Shen, who was on the steps under the dragon chair, collapsed numbly on the ground.

The great fear had overwhelmed all his emotions at this moment, and he couldn't even kneel and kowtow.

When Zulong appeared, although he was terrified, he didn't think there was any problem.

After all, as Jiuqing, he is allowed to have his own guards.

Even at the beginning, it was Zu Longqing's own decision to equip officials above Zhongqing with different levels of guards.

And he just had a conflict with a civilian.

Although it was a bit embarrassing to be captured by that civilian guard, it was not a fundamental mistake.

Even if his own family later called the Imperial Army, it was for his safety after all.

One is the aloof Jiuqing, and the other is a commoner with some medical skills.

Who Zulong chooses should be self-evident in Ye Shen's view.

It's just Zulong's reaction that he definitely didn't expect.

In the first half of the confrontation between Zulong and the forbidden army, he fainted and didn't see it.

But when he woke up, he could clearly feel that Zulong was very dissatisfied.

Although he desperately begged for mercy, Zulong didn't seem to care.

And from his point of view, Zulong was obviously angry because the imperial army besieged Divine Doctor Qin.

Why did Zulong come to Fangshi?

On the way back to the palace under escort by the guards, he finally figured out the cause and effect.

In the past few days, Xu Fu, who was originally favored, was suddenly killed.

Zulong didn't even take the pill.

At that time, everyone in the court speculated that Zu Long should have met an expert when he was on a tour in Weifu.

Now it seems that the expert is obviously Qin's doctor.

That's right, apart from alchemists, only genius doctors can know about the fact that the pill is poisonous.

When he wanted to understand this matter, Ye Shen was shrouded in great regret, and he didn't even have the thought of survival.

"Ye Shen!"

The voice of Zulong sounded in the main hall, panicking like Tianwei.

"Are you guilty?"

Ye Shen bowed his head: "I am guilty."

"Do you know where the crime is?"

"As the great Qin Shaoqing, I shouldn't have quarreled with Qin's doctor in Fangshi, and even sent the forbidden army to encircle him."

His voice was low and desperate.

"Your Majesty, I really don't know. If I knew that Miracle Doctor Qin is an expert, I would definitely not offend him, let alone make it difficult for Your Majesty!"

Zulong was taken aback by this answer.

What Zulong was really angry about was the transfer of the forbidden army.

At this time, the eunuchs around him came in and informed that many officials were asking for an audience outside the palace gate.

"It came pretty quickly."

Zulong snorted coldly.

"It seems that you also have a good relationship with your colleagues."

At this moment Ye Shen finally raised his spirits, kowtowed on the ground and said, "I will never dare."

Zu Long didn't say much, but asked the eunuch to let in all the people outside the palace gate.

As soon as the palace door opened, a lot of people rushed in.

Zulong took a closer look.

There are three Shangqing and more than a dozen Zhongqing. There are more than twenty people.

There will only be more low-level officials who are not qualified to enter the palace to face the saints.

These nearly twenty senior officials are already a considerable force in the Great Qin court.

"My love friends are in a hurry to see me. Could it be that something important happened?"

Zu Long asked coldly.

More than 20 newcomers glanced at each other, and finally a Shangqing spoke.

"Returning to Your Majesty, I dare not lie to Your Majesty. The Young Mansion Ye Shen has offended His Majesty and will be punished. I have also heard about it."

"I came here to intercede for Ye Shen."

"plead?"

Zulong's voice was slightly elevated.

"Okay, I will give you this chance."

"I don't embarrass you either.

If anyone can clearly describe the crime Ye Shen committed, I will spare him from death. "

There was joy on the faces of many officials.

Zu Long saw their reactions in his eyes, and sneered in his heart, but remained calm on his face.

"However, how can it be free to plead for others? If what you say is wrong, then everyone will be fined for one year by reducing their official salary."

"This……"

The officials hesitated.

"Xu Qing, tell me."

Xu Qing is exactly Shang Qing who spoke just now.

"Return to Your Majesty. Ye Shaofu's jumping in the queue in Fangshi really hurt his face, and having disputes with civilians is even more at odds with etiquette."

"It's just...the crime is not worthy of death, Your Majesty."

"Cutting in line? Arguing?"

"you are wrong!"

"Ye Shen's crime is yours!"

"As senior officials of the imperial court, everyone is Shangqing and Zhongqing!"

"I've been eating Huangliang for a long time, have you forgotten your identities?"

"I ask you, what do the forbidden army do?"

Xu Shangqing paused for a moment and said: "The Imperial Army guards the Imperial City to suppress the world."

"That's right. The forbidden army is to defend the imperial city, and it is to shock the world."

"Such an elite soldier of the Great Qin Dynasty."

"Who gave you the courage to drive it at will without a tiger talisman or a transfer order?"

"Now it's God Doctor Qin who is in conflict with Ye Shen."

"If there is a conflict between me and you one day, will you also mobilize the imperial army to encircle and suppress me?"

The officials were shocked, they didn't dare to defend themselves, they knelt on the ground with a plop, and kowtowed violently.

The ground of the Qin Palace is said to be hard bluestone, they didn't knock it twice, all of them were dizzy and bleeding.

Zulong asked someone to pull them up.

"Xu Qing, let me ask you, should Ye Shen die?"

Shangqing bowed his head and cupped his hands: "Return to Your Majesty, Ye Shen deserves to die for his crime!"

"Okay. Then Ye Shen will be beheaded. You will be demoted by one rank and fined for one year. Do you have any complaints?"

"I will never complain."

Screening everyone away, Zu Long sighed deeply.

Zhao Gao, ordered by the CRRC Mansion, came to the side of the First Emperor and lightly beat Zulong on the shoulder.

"Your Majesty, you are tired, take a rest."

"It's okay, the anger in my heart has calmed down."

Zhao Gao smiled obsequiously.

"Your Majesty, since these 20 or more Shangqing and Zhongqing have pleaded for Ye Shen, why did Your Majesty offend them?"

"It's better to save that Ye Shen and demote him to a commoner."

"Your Majesty has vented his anger again, so he won't listen to those old guys talking nonsense."

Hearing this, Zu Long remained silent, and turned his head to look at Zhao Gao.

Zhao Gao was dripping with cold sweat and didn't dare to speak again.

This Zhao Gao was obviously begging for mercy, but he deliberately waited for Zulong to calm down before opening his mouth.

It's just this small thought, Zulong will break it at a glance.

Zu Long knew that this time, it was Ye Shen who mobilized the imperial army, and it was too much.

Otherwise, if these more than 20 senior officials persuaded him together, he would also have a headache.

The political power of the emperor through the ages is at its peak, how could he not know about the problems of the aristocratic interest groups?

It's just that the great nobles are deeply intertwined.

Even Wang Jian, Meng Yi, and Zhao Gao, whom he trusted the most, are each the spokesperson of a certain interest group.

Under such circumstances, it is difficult for even Zulong to solve this problem.

He suddenly thought of Qin Mu, maybe only Qin Mu could think of a solution?
